[1] I had a good one today. There was a small right of way dispute between myself, driving a large minibus and someone in a KA. I won. He kept beeping his horn in his frustration. After many beeps I thought '**** this", stopped the van and got out to have a word. It was a fairly narrow road and I had pulled up just after a parked car on the right. Mr moron had stopped so close to the parked car he couldn't open his door to get out of his car. Poor soul, he looked so helpless there trying to argue through his window. I did smile as I walked back to the bus. [1] apologies to those who don't like the 'this happened to me today' stories, but I liked this one. -- John SV650 Black it is and naked
Funny, but who was actually in the right ?

Well, it's a junction with no give way signs at all, but it is usually interpreted as a roundabout: there is a one way loop with a road joining. Normally, cars on the road joining give way to vehicles coming from the right who are already on the loop. I was on the loop, the car wasn't. I also arrived first, as evidenced by the fact that the car would have hit the bus about half way down it's length had there been contact. So on two counts, I claim that I was in the right. I am actually ususally a very courteous driver and do not rob people of their rights of way etc. -- John SV650 Black it is and naked

Heh, yes. On the bike I filter like a ****, and pass every thing in sight on the open road. I just try and not piss people off needlessly. People robbing rights of way is a pet hate of mine.... -- John SV650 Black it is and naked
